1 To'aZZ whom if may concern.:

Be it known that l, MIciiAnLEvAninn,

a. citizen o f Poland', residing at Tottenville', c Staten island, inVthe county of Richmondl and State of New York,4 have inventedk cer-`tain new and useful Improvements in ,Cgutvv ting Machines, of which 'thefollowingis 'a specification. V-

This invention relates to l slicing device which maybe used for slicing1cutting7 or comminuting generally, food products of varioussorts, theinventionhav-V ing for `an object to provide a novel and efficientdevice of this sort, a further object relating to the provision ofradiall adjust-v ment vmeans for the cutting blades.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, referencev will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which theyvariousy novel features of the invention are more particularly Vsetforth. Y

Fig. l of the drawings is a side elevational view of myimproved device.

Fig. 2`is a transverse sectional lview taken Von theline 2-2 of Fig, 1.Y .f-

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary axialsectional view showing the meansforradially adjust- .3 I

ing the cutting blades. Y

r Fig. 4t is an end view of the/de vicen Y Fig. 5 is a detailperspective view showingtheV blades` applied to a hand slicer or 35'chopper.

As here embodied my improved device comprises a frame consisting of thetop horizontal bar l and the legs 10. f In these legsis journaled ashaft 13. which supports Y a number of rotary cutting elements. Thesecutting elements each consists of a hub from which project radially anumber lof guide arms 16 in which are slidably guided the knives 17, thehubs 15 being fixed on the shaft 13.y Fixed in the inner ends of theknives 17 arevthe'pins 18 which may be screwed therein to permit ofremoval when desired,these pins .projectingv into spiral slots `19inflanges 2O formed on the' ends of sleeves 21 slidable freely surround'-ing the shaft 13'. Formed in the sleeves. 21 are the AhelicallyVinclined slots 23 in'which 'engage the lends of pins .24 Vfixed in`arod 25 slidable in the shaft 13, the latter being made hollow, thesepins 24 passing-through in vthe shaft 13,V ascrew` is threaded into foneleg 10 ofthe frameiand vhas a swivel Y -a cutting and movement to thesleeve 21.A l As "indicated .in Fig. '5 l may make useV longitudinalslots said shaft.

Fory adjusting the` rod 1 engagement asfindicated'at 31 with ktherodsuch as 26 in the wall of'.

'25 `longitudinelly whereby therod 'can rotate .indepenfilentlv' of thescrew but isV caused to move longi head 32 thereon for turningpurposes.

The frame 10 is supported on rollers or wheels 35 which are journaled inthe lower ends of the legs 10 and' have fixed coaxially thereto thepulleys v36 overwvhich are looped belts 37 looped also over .pulleys onthe shaft V13 wherebyywhen the device is caused to roll along a boardvor other surfacedv object on which the materialto be sliced isplaced,the cutters will be'caused` to'rota'te. Handles such as 39 may be Vfiredon the frame for convenience in rolling the devicefalong.V A ItV isbelieved that tudinally'with the latter*A The screw has `a the manner ofoperation and use of my improved device will V be'A readilyunderstoodfrom the above deby turning' :screw 30l andso moving rod 25longitudinally and imparting of the blades 17 in a hand operated chopperf when desired,v fthe blades being removed from the guides 16' and fixedto the cross bars A45, it being understood that the blades willk beformed with suitable tapped 'holes to receive the fastening` vscrews 46.A

`handle 47 1s also fixed; to the blades.

so77A Having thus described my invention what V I claim as new anddesire to protect by Letters 'Patent-of the United States is asfollows.: l y

1. A device of the class described comprisino a frame a shaft 'ournaledin said frame'. b

a number of rotary cutters mounted on said shaft and each includingradially Vadjust'- for. all of said knives.

l2A device of the 'class described comable knives, and a commonadjustingmeans i prisingfa frame, aushaftV journaled 'in said frame,a number ofrotary cutters mounted on said shaft and each including radiallyadjustable knives,k and a common adjusting means for all of said knives,sal-id means 1n- Cluding a rod extending through an axialV boring insaid shaft.

3. A device of. the Class described coin! prising a -l'raine, e shaftjournaled in said frame, a number or" rotary cutters mounted on saidshaft and each including indially adjustable knives, und a commonadjusting Vmeans for all of saidlrnives, said Ineens in- 'cluding arodextending'through an axial `borln'g 1n said shait, a number 'of pinsyon saidrodVsleeves reely surrounding said shaft, said pins extendingoutward through Vlongitudinal and inclined slots 1n thelshaft "andsleeves respectively, flanges on said sleeves having spiral` slots`formed therein,

and pins on said knives engaging in said 20 slots. y Y

4. A device of the class described coinprising a fraine, a shaftjournaled in said traine, e number of rotary cutters mounted o1i`sa`idsha-'ft and each including radially adjustable knives, and a coxnnionadjusting ymeans for all of ysaid knives, said ineens and sleevesrespectively. flanges -ron said sleevesV having'spiral slots formedtherein,y

and pins on said knives( engaging in said slots, and a screw' threadedinte the iruine vand having swivel engagement with the end yof the rodfor adjusting the latter.

n testimony whereof I have ai. signature.
